3 Part Beauty Ritual…. with bareMinerals

Tuesday, April 26, 2016

When it comes to skin type and skin care routines, I feel like us, women, get stuck in one category for life- meaning that if the first time we went to the dermatologist at 14, we were told that our skin is oily …we think that our skin will be “Oily” for life….and that’s not the case.

Our skin tends to fluctuate throughout the year due to seasonal, environmental, climate…and even hormonal changes. It probably is more dry during the winter….and it won’t behave the same way if you are in humid Florida or in dry Nevada…even if it’s just for a week

I love how bareMinerals took a holistic approach to their new skincare line, SKINSORIALS…which I was so excited to try and review. They developed a highly curated assortment of products that work amazing in conjunction or one another…and I was so excited to try it out and review it for you gals.

I’ve seen girls apply at least 7 products every night, and that shouldn’t be the case (I think it’s crazy, unnecessary, and so time consuming!!) If the products are high-quality and cater your specific needs, an easy 1, 2, 3 step routine is all you need. This line focuses on a 3 part beauty ritual that you can mix and match to fulfill your skin needs.

Let’s start talking about Oil Obsessed™; instead of adding water and making it lather, you apply it on your dry skin to dissolve makeup and impurities, and then, you add a little warm water to rinse away. I loved it because it even removes mascara and eyeliner while hydrating your skin. This one is great to use before going to sleep. Blemish Remedy™, as it name states, combats acne and prevents future breakouts. Personally, products with Salicylic Acid make my skin extremely dry and tight…so I try to avoid them! But I was reading some reviews online and people were taking about how their breakouts clear faster. Clay Chameleon™ is what they call a clay-to-cream facial cleanser (combines the benefits of Brazilian Red Clay and mineral-rich Sea Salts with texture of a soft cream!). It is gentle, it smells amazing, it didn’t dry or tight out my skin afterwards…my skin feels very clean after using it.

I couldn't pick my favorite between Oil Obsessed™ and Clay Chameleon™! But I think I have to go with Oil Obsessed™.

Ok, let’s talk about this bottle of skin-magic ! You apply it after cleansing and before moisturizing your face. This product is for all skin types…because who doesn’t want enhanced resilience and glowing skin! I also realized it helps little pimples heal faster. Remember that a little goes a long way…and it smells great (which is always a plus!). I got a couple of “your skin is glowing” and I think I have to thank this product!

I compared the three and the texture of each moisturizes completely changes. True Oasis™ is very light and absorbs very quickly…it’s perfect for oily skins (hey oily skins also need to be hydrated) and this one is very refreshing and cooling. Bare Haven™ is thicker in consistency but still absorbs quickly... I could tell instantly that it was more moisturizing (perfect for normal skin types). I personally use this one during the day under makeup, and Butter Drench™ at night.

For me? It’s not enough…my skin wants as much hydration as possible…and Butter Drench™ was the one for me! This one is thicker in consistency (enriched with Shea butter), smells SO good, and feels silky and nourishing! I am IN LOVE! <3

I truly believe that you shouldn’t wait until you are 40+ to start taking care of your skin…it’s all about healthy living (eating clean, drinking water, exercising) and using the right products for your skin.
